It is almost unreal, but the connection has been made and Jolla has become reality all over the world. Until the Jolla phone reaches you, you can download the Jolla ringtone to use on your current phone from the Jolla Contact Us webpage or via the direct links below:

Over the last few weeks, Jolla has started shipping the “I am the first one” T-shirt that was part of the pre-booking campaign all over the world. Many have posted pictures of themselves and the T-shirt on the JollaHq twitter site.

More and more are also taking part in the “Dry T-shirt” competition.

If you have received yours and would like to take part, the link is here:

This is the Best video by far on disassembling and putting the N9 together again.

All credits must go to Le55ons.

The tools that you will need is a T5 screwdriver, plenty of light and a steady hand.

Also, a small plastic knife with thin edges will come in handy.

Used this video to replace the BV-5JW, 1450mAh, 3.8V, 5.5Wh battery for my N9.

One small tip, the battery connector must be inserted the “right way down”, as the connectors to the N9 motherboard is only present on one side of the the battery’s connector.

If you don’t get this right, the N9 will not power on.

Small detail but big difference.

Very pleased to find that the new replacement battery showed a 97% charge right out of the packaging!!! However, the phone should still be charged for the recommended 12 hours before use for the phone to calibrate itself to the new battery. The 97% reading is more than likely an overestimation.

Another note is that if the battery is faulty, the N9 will consistently display the “There is something wrong with your charger…” error. Just replace the faulty battery and the error message will disappear.

So, don’t throw away your N9 if the battery is struggling or needs replacing. It can be done!

It has been a while since the pre-release campaign of a phone has generated so much buzz and excitement. It looks like the actual launch of Jolla Phone at the later part of the year will eclipse even that of the original Meego Harmattan N9.

Why, Jolla Phone is even being labeled as “Deviant Linux Smartphone“!!! Sounds really cool and catchy!!!

A team of ex-Nokia engineers and designers has unveiled the Jolla, a totally new smartphone with a totally new operating system. Even if this snazzy new device crashes and burns like other dark-horse mobile devices in the past, it sure will look good while it does so.

The phone’s most unique aspect has to be its split nature: The front has the usual smartphone guts and a 4.5-inch HD screen. But attach an “other half” to the back and your phone gets a new look, new profile, or even new features. Each rear piece can be independently configured
— have one for work and one for personal use, for instance, or buy one that adds exclusive apps or even something like wireless charging…”

For some unknown reason, many of you will find that it is impossible to register a new username at the above link when you are placing a pre-order on the Jolla website.

No matter what username combination you use, the same error message will appear after you have filled in all your order and personal details if you click on the “checkout” tab at the end of the order form:

“Username already taken, please try another”

In reality, the username that you have chosen has already been process and an e-mail has already been sent to your e-mail address.

However, you will not be able to proceed further with your order form this way as it stays stuck with the above error message.

A proven work-around for this error until Jolla fixes it is to register your username and password first with Jolla at:

You will then receive a confirmation e-mail from jolla.com with your e-mail verification code. Once you have verify your e-mail, your Jolla account will be active and you can proceed to place your pre-order.

Once you have completed the above, come back to the Jolla checkout page at:
